Bernie Mac-Prince connection On The Hits there is a song called The Pope. In the beginning there is a comedian I believe Bernie Mac. In the into he says"You don't understand, I aint scared of you muthafuckas. KICK ASS!!!". Why did P do that? Working up a purple sweat. | |

Maybe because he thought Bernie was funny  Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer. | |

Because Def Comedy Jam was really big and new at the time. Princ eha salways been a fan of comedians. In that Roadhouse rehearsal when he is doing Erotic City you can hear him say "cuzz ya know what it is" copying Eddie Murphys "Delerious" drunken father. goony goo-goo edit [Edited 2/23/09 22:52pm] | |

Maybe because he thought Bernie was funny That show Prince sampled Bernie from is hilarious!.  "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

My sister worked as Russell Simmons' assistant at Rush Communications at that time. She was also responsible for putting the show together. I recall vividly Prince's assistant Terese Stoli (i think that was her last name) calling my sister because Prince wanted tapes of the show he could watch while on tour. She complied and Prince sent her a note with a rough draft of the Sexy MF video. He wrote thanks lisa, keep shaking your ass, Prince. They even gave us tickets to the ACT Tour at Radio City. We sat next to Whitney, Bobby and Madonna. goony goo-goo edit [Edited 2/23/09 22:52pm] | |

I don't know perhaps because Prince was still fun back then and had a sense of humor? I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

They were friends and I thought it was cool to add that to the song. 
RIP, Bernie Mac [Edited 2/24/09 6:06am] | |
